Even though I'd rather be spinning than most anything else. I find I have to schedule my time to fit it in to everything else. The Tour de Fleece, a, mostly on-line fiber marathon promoted very effectively by Ravelry, allows just that for me. Everything else that is not vital gets pushed aside while I schedule time to spin as much as possible. Here is a bit of the the results from this last week. Still not as much as I'd like. More spinning will be scheduled into my life. It is like Food, Air, Water, Spin.
There are many fiber preps to choose from and each gives a different result. Spinning from a layered batt is one that I love. From making it on the big Strauch Double Wide to the finished yarn:
The Layed Batt from one end.
Opening up the treasure chest.
Stripped and rolled into pretty rolags.
Spun into a thick and thin singles on my Schact Matchless.
Plied with a fine laceweight on my Gorgeous Green Country Spinner.
Skeined and ready to wash.
Hop on over and become a Fan, if you like.
Wow, I love hearing about the spinning process and your process! My yoga practice is my addition to the list of my needs to thrive. Kisses, Deb
